Default Which panhard bar?

Ok guys, I'm looking to get some Steeda sport springs and a BMR panhard bar to start off my suspension modifications..

Two questions:

1. Is there only one version of the Steeda sport springs? No V6 & GT differentiation?

2. Which BMR panhard bar do I need? There are a few different kinds offered..

Thanks!

I suggest the PHR006 adjustable with the polyurethane bushings; that's the one I have.

That's what I have...solidly built piece and I don't even know it's there.

Ok that's the one I thought I needed, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't need the chrome moly with rod ends (MPHR012).

You don't want or need rod ends on a street car. All it'll do is annoy you.

Not true.

You ever had rod ends on your s197? I bet not.

The benefit of poly/rod is that poly on both ends causes the LCAs to bind as the car rolls. The stock rubber bushings allow for this movement but a poly/poly LCA resists it.
